BookingHound Alternative: Pricing Explained and Options Compared
BookingHound is now part of Beyonk. Here is what it costs today, and when a different model fits your business better.
Search for BookingHound pricing and you will find several answers that do not agree: free plans, monthly plans in pounds, a monthly fee plus a percentage, a percentage alone. They are not all wrong. They describe different moments in the product's history.
This guide sorts out what BookingHound costs now, what it does well, why operators look elsewhere, and how the alternatives compare — including the cases where the current model is the cheapest option you have.
BookingHound is now part of Beyonk
BookingHound, a UK booking system for activity, event, tour and training businesses, was acquired by Beyonk in 2022. Today the pricing link on the BookingHound website goes to Beyonk's pricing page, support runs through Beyonk's help center, and Beyonk's integrations page still lists BookingHound as a product alongside its own.
That explains the conflicting search results. BookingHound's older pages describe plans called Freedom, Pro and Enterprise, and review sites still show figures from that era. None of those is a reliable guide to what a new customer pays today.
BookingHound pricing, explained
Beyonk's pricing page, updated in October 2026, lists:
- Ticketing platform: 4% per booking, priced by volume, which you can pass on to customers or absorb yourself.
- Marketing Suite: 1% extra. Bundling ticketing with marketing services earns a 20% discount, with no minimum spend.
- Marketing services: packages from £1,250 a month, and a website at £6,000 plus £3,000 a year for edits.
- Payment processing: Stripe fees apply to all online payments, on top of the above.
There are no upfront costs and no locked-in contracts, and you can try it for free. Prices exclude VAT for UK users, and Beyonk says the platform is for businesses with more than £25,000 in annual sales.

What it does well
- Built for venues as well as tours. Memberships and passes, gift cards, point of sale, QR scanning, digital waivers, capacity management and reserved seating suit farms, museums, zoos and activity centers.
- A genuinely free option. If you pass the 4% to guests, the platform costs you nothing beyond card processing.
- No contract. Pay as you go suits seasonal businesses that do not want to pay through the quiet months.
- Marketing under one roof, for operators who would rather buy software and marketing from one supplier.
Why operators look for alternatives
- Uncertainty about the product. Customers on an acquired platform reasonably want to know where it is heading before planning another season on it.
- A percentage grows with you. If you absorb the fee, your software cost rises with every booking. That is fair at low volume and expensive at high volume.
- Passing the fee on has a cost too. A fee added at checkout makes your direct price higher than the headline price, including the price guests may see elsewhere.
- Tour operations. Operators running guided departures need guide and vehicle scheduling and channel sync with the big marketplaces. Beyonk's integrations page lists Expedia for BookingHound and Google Things to Do for Beyonk, but not GetYourGuide or Viator among its listed connections. Ask if you need them.
What to look for in an alternative
- Live sync with the channels you sell on, listed by name — not a count of integrations.
- A booking fee published in advance, so you can model a year's cost before a sales call.
- The charge on offline bookings taken by phone, email or walk-up.
- Who pays the fee, and whether you can choose.
- Operations that match your business: guides, vehicles and check-in for tours; memberships and point of sale for venues.
- Migration help covering future bookings and unredeemed vouchers.
The alternatives compared
Each figure below comes from the vendor's own website as of October 2026:
| Platform | Monthly fee | Booking fee | Who pays |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beyonk (BookingHound) | None | 4%, by volume; +1% with Marketing Suite | Your choice |
| FareHarbor | None | Not published | Added at guest checkout |
| Bókun | $49 / $149 / $499 | 1.5% / 1.25% / 1%; none on Viator; offline free | Your choice |
| Travelity | $39 / $139 / $399 | 1.9% online; 0% offline | You |
If you absorb the fee, the arithmetic is simple. Travelity Starter costs less than a 4% fee once online sales pass about $1,860 a month; Bókun START does so above about $1,960. At $5,000 a month, 4% is $200 against $134 on Travelity and $124 on Bókun. At $20,000 it is $800 against $419 and $349. Card processing applies on every platform and is left out.
Two honest caveats. Bókun's lower percentage makes it cheaper than Travelity at these volumes. And if you pass Beyonk's fee to guests, nothing beats it on your own costs — the question becomes whether your guests accept the higher checkout price. Our pricing comparison works through both models in more detail.
Switching cleanly
Export future bookings and customer records, plus every gift voucher, membership and pass sold but not yet used — these are promises to customers and must survive the move. Rebuild products and availability, connect your marketplaces and payment account, and check each product maps to the right listing. Keep the old system live for a week or two, let pending payouts settle, and only then repoint the booking button on your website — once a real test order has gone all the way through. Our guide to switching without disrupting your season covers the detail.
Who each option suits
- Stay with Beyonk if you run an attraction or venue that sells memberships, passes and gift cards, and you are comfortable passing the fee to guests.
- Consider FareHarbor if you want no subscription and prefer the fee on the guest's bill. Our FareHarbor guide covers the trade-offs.
- Consider Bókun if most of your marketplace sales come through Viator, where it charges no fee, or if a 1.5% rate matters more to you than anything else. See our Bókun guide.
- Consider Travelity if you run tours or transfers, sell through GetYourGuide, Viator, Trip.com or Google Things to Do, and want guides, vehicles and check-ins managed in the same system as your bookings.
How Travelity helps
Travelity is tour management software built for tour operators, transfer providers, agencies and guides. Availability syncs in real time with GetYourGuide, Viator, Trip.com and Google Things to Do, and Travelity is an OCTO Certified Supplier. Daily operations assign vehicles, drivers and guides from one screen and check guests in as they arrive, and the booking widget turns your website into a direct channel.
Starter is $39 a month with unlimited products and bookings, 1.9% on online bookings and nothing on offline ones; see all plans. Where Beyonk is stronger, we will say so: memberships, gift cards and point of sale for venues. Setup and onboarding are free, and the 21-day trial needs no credit card.
Frequently asked questions
Is BookingHound still available?
BookingHound has been part of Beyonk since 2022. The BookingHound website now links to Beyonk’s pricing page, and Beyonk still lists BookingHound as a product on its integrations page. If you are an existing customer, ask Beyonk in writing whether your current plan and price continue, and what notice you would get of any change.
How much does BookingHound cost?
BookingHound’s pricing link leads to Beyonk’s pricing, which lists a 4% fee on its ticketing platform, adjusted by volume, that you can pass on to customers or absorb. Its Marketing Suite adds 1%, and Stripe processing applies to all online payments. Older BookingHound plans appear on review sites with conflicting figures, so confirm what applies to your account.
What features should I look for in a BookingHound alternative?
Start with what you sell and where. Check live availability sync with each marketplace you use, a booking fee you can model in advance, the charge on offline bookings, and who pays the fee. Then match operations to your business: guide and vehicle scheduling for tours, or memberships, passes and point of sale for attractions. Finally, confirm migration help for bookings and vouchers.
Can you compare BookingHound with other booking systems?
Yes. At current published pricing, BookingHound runs on Beyonk’s percentage-only model, while Bókun and Travelity combine a monthly subscription with a lower percentage. If you absorb the fee yourself, Travelity Starter costs less than a 4% fee once online sales pass about $1,860 a month. If you pass the fee to guests, the percentage model costs you nothing beyond processing.
How do I switch from BookingHound to another system?
Export future bookings, customer records, and every unredeemed gift voucher, membership and pass. Set up products and availability again, link your marketplaces and payment account, and confirm each listing maps correctly. Keep the old system live for a short overlap, settle pending payouts, and repoint your website’s booking button only after a real test order has gone all the way through.
Bottom line
BookingHound is now Beyonk's business, priced as a percentage you can absorb or pass on. For venues selling memberships and passes, and for operators happy to put the fee on the guest's bill, it remains a strong choice.
If you absorb the fee and sell more than about $1,860 a month online, or you run tours that live on the big marketplaces, a subscription with a lower percentage will usually cost less. Work it out at your own volume, and choose on that number.
